“Almost all of them produced in the last twenty-five years”

None of the most underrated films have been made this century. Most films from the classic era are great and most have been forgotten.

ZULU, Zulu Dawn, The Black Rose, The War Lord....and so many other great ones from the past.

I don’t think I have ever seen any of these. And I don’t have any interest in seeing any now.

Didn't see any of them, but I can think of a 1/2-dozen sleepers:

Waking Ned Devine
Grand Canyon
Made in Heaven
The Trouble With Harry
The God’s Must be Crazy
October Sky
Don Juan De Marco

Seen any of 'em?

Still Crazy, 1999 movie about a fictional band from the 70s reuniting for another chance at stardom. Great cast, excellent soundtrack.

I saw many of these and they mostly sucked.

However, “Chef” is absolutely a must see. It follows a man to his life dream and purpose.

“Vanilla Sky” is easily worse than “Meet Joe Black”

The only "unknown" movie (at least one that I had never heard of) that I watched which I was surprised to completely enjoy. And I always wondered why it wasn't better known was ...

Per the list, I thought THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO was really strong.

“Keeper of the Flame”

Tracy & Hepburn, who I usually don’t care about.

But it presages JFK’s assassination and government cover-ups by about 20 years.

Stardust was quite good. I liked Sunshine as well. And Vanilla Sky.

The Village was stupid and awful.

The rise of digital cameras has been both a blessing and a curse. Digital has enabled independents to make movies that would never have been made if the makers had had to cover the cost of film processing and editing. So there are some excellent low budget movies now but also much more terrible dreck. Simply there are far too many movies and TV shows. Most terrible. But still some that are as good as anything from the past.

It’s a low bar since the horrible Gone With The Wind is considered amongst the best.

I agree that Mississippi Masala has been underrated, but I would also add Perfect and Body Heat to the list. Both were very good and definitely underrated.
